Lord of the Seven Kingdoms

Friends are people you put your trust in and expect them to do the same. They are some kind of non-blood related brothers to you that are going to be with you when you feel sad, happy, nervous or calm. This is friendship. In every society this kind of relationship is important, in some more than in others, but in every society it’s very appreciated and encouraged as it makes you more sociable and puts you in the position of making the decision of trusting or not someone in a dificult situation (like helping them defend themselves against bullies and expecting the mto do the same for you). Getting a new friend means expanding your family.
I for one enjoy having friends and chatting with them loving them and recieving the same feeling, but I am very picky about them. For example I „study” them for hours, days, etc and see how they react to different things, situations, people, and other things, then start a conversation with them about one or more of my hobbies to see if we have hobbies in common. If we do then he’s one of my best friends, if not, well... he’s still a friend, but more of an acquaintance.
In making friends you can’t be too easygoing, you have to be a bit picky too, since you can’t trust everybody just because they say so. Many people decieve others to get what they want and that means that many people who say they want to be your friend before you know eachother might be a fake friend trying to use your friendship as a tool.
Having lots of friends is something good and it will make you very happy, but get too many and you will not have time for yourself. Not that it is a bad thing, but losing time for yourself means that you can’t treat yourself too good.
